I'm running Mac OS X and GNU Emacs 22.3.1. I use a swedish keyboard. I am unable to type braces { }, [ ] in emacs. When trying to type braces I get parenthesis. Since I'm quite new to Mac and emacs I need a little help on configuring emacs to get this right.

The square bracket on the Mac is open [ on the number key 5 and closed ] on the number key 6. You can activate it with the Alt key: Alt + 5 = [ Alt 6 =]
On a keyboard with a German layout the opening curly brace is typed by Alt Gr (right Alt) + 7.
I use a swedish keyboard with the standard swedish keymap (ISO 8859-15), so for me it's AltGr + 7 and AltGr + 0. If nothing else helps, under Windows you can write them by holding down the Alt key while typing 0123 and 0125, respectively, on the numeric keypad.
How to insert brackets on Mac keyboard? To insert an open bracket on your document, press the Alt + Shift + ( keys simultaneously. To close the bracket, simply press the Alt + Shift + ) keys simultaneously.
(setq mac-option-modifier nil mac-command-modifier 'meta x-select-enable-clipboard t) This is what I use for my swedish keyboard. It even works with svorak A5, if you use it :)
